The Frontier Conference football season is only two weeks old, and already there are major things changing the landscape of the league. The biggest shake up may have come last weekend when No. 3 Carroll College barely extended its 34-game conference winning streak by slipping past Rocky Mountain College 24-21 in Helena. Now it may not be a surprise that the much-improved Battlin' Bears gave the vaunted Saints all they could handle on Saturday, or that Carroll needed a Thomas Dolan interception of RMC's Mark Desin late in the...

This morning, while I was bent over in my garden pulling weeds, the phone rang. I finished dead-heading the petunias and went indoors to listen to the message on voice mail. It was a woman with ideas. She didn't leave her name. She must have noticed that periodically, in this column, I express concern for the financial future of the dwindling town of Harlem. She had answers. I liked her suggestions. She thinks like me. Thank you, whoever you are. I have taken your ideas and run with them. In fact, I talked with my business pa...
A problem lurks under the sand on the Gulf Coast, but some argue the best thing to do is — nothing. Walk to a seemingly pristine patch of sand, plop down in a chair and start digging with your bare feet and chances are you'll walk away with gooey tar between your toes. So far, workers hired by BP to clean oil off beaches have skimmed only the surface, using shovels or sifting machines. The oil underneath is sometimes buried by the tides before workers can get to it. Now the company is planning a deeper cleaning program that c...

G a l l a t i n C o u n t y Emergency manager Patrick Lonergan said the county has received 183 damage reports totaling $1.06 million in damages so far from the June 30 storm. That's only a fraction of the actual damages, he said, but he still doubted the county would qualify for state and federal assistance programs because out-of-pocket costs th...
